Chapter 585: Discouraged
Xu's vomiting blood this time was not as light as the previous two times. She vomited not a mouthful of blood, but several mouthfuls. When Qin Hanzhen entered the house later, he saw that the front of her clothes was all dyed red, no wonder the people around her were so frightened.
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but think in his heart, Xu Shi vomited blood these few times, and the blows came in waves, and the condition was definitely not light. And now that the separation of the Xu family's two rooms is a foregone conclusion, the Xu family's house has made stupid mistakes one after another, its reputation has been ruined, and it has offended its in-laws, and it is unlikely that there will be any good results in the future. Xu Zheng, who once had high hopes, has an uncertain future, and it is still unknown whether Xu Xiu can get married, and the fall of Xu's family has been completed. The second room is clearly only a vassal of the Chengenhou Mansion, and it will not become a climate. Seeing that his mother's family had fallen to this, Xu's mood was depressed, and he was afraid that he would not get better.
Xu was only in his fifties, not very old, and his health has always been healthy, so it stands to reason that he has lived a long life. But now it seems that such a judgment is clearly too optimistic. Qin's family room, maybe it has come time to consider the issue of filial piety.
The ladies of the long house who rushed over after hearing the news all looked solemn, and even Yao's family, who was eager to see Xu's unlucky all the time, frowned and began to worry. Her daughter-in-law is about to enter the door, and if her mother-in-law has a good relationship at this time, won't she have to burden her son's filial piety? Then it will have to be another year late to do a happy event? It's really unlucky! When will this mother-in-law be able to burden her children and grandchildren a little less?!
Qin Hanzhen explained to them what happened, and Qin Jian, who had been guarding Xu's bedside, also made a supplementary explanation. Xu Shi was really angry today, unlike the previous times, when she vomited blood, she was still conscious, and today she lost consciousness, and it took a while for her to recover.
However, after Xu Shi recovered, the first thing he said was that the girls were not allowed to invite the doctor, and even the doctor had to come quietly. Even with such a physical condition, she still did not forget to maintain the reputation of the Xu family. She didn't know about the rumors outside, but if she had known, she would definitely find a way to stop the rumors from spreading. Now that she is powerless to stop the rumors, she must no longer let people know that Uncle Xu and his wife are so angry that they vomit blood on her again.
No matter how disappointed she is in her nephew and daughter-in-law, now that Master Xu has had a stroke, the hope of the Xu family is in Uncle Xu's house, and she has to protect her eldest nephew no matter what. Protecting Uncle Xu is equivalent to protecting Xu Zheng and protecting the hope of the Xu family's comeback.
As for the blood she vomited, she vomited more than once anyway, and with the medicine left by the imperial doctor, she will be raised slowly and will get better. Even if it's just in case, there is a doctor with good medical skills to check it, it's almost the same.
However, not everyone is willing to cooperate with her. A junior like Yao, who doesn't really care about her, but is just afraid of keeping filial piety, is still thinking about how to persuade her to change her mind, and a sincere person like Min has already spoken directly: "How can this make Madame's symptom have always been diagnosed and treated by Dr. Zhou, and he has to change the prescription every time he comes for a follow-up visit, and he treats her very carefully." Madame's illness had improved before, thanks to his medicine. Doctor Wang, who usually comes to the house, can treat some minor illnesses with headaches and brain fever. In case of serious symptoms, it is more reliable to ask a doctor. ”
Xu Shi's face turned pale and said weakly: "I didn't know...... Rumors out there...... Let people know that I'm sick again...... I don't know what I'm going to say......"
Min said: "The rumors will eventually disperse, and Madame's body matters." Besides, Imperial Physician Zhou is a person who understands the rules and will not talk casually. ”
Xu shook his head weakly. Imperial Physician Zhou will certainly keep his mouth tight, but if there is a noble person who inquires, he will definitely not keep the secret for the Qin and Xu families. And with the relationship between the Qin family and the royal family, she is so sick, how can the queen mother, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince in the palace not pay attention to it?
On the contrary, if it is Dr. Wang, there will be no chance to meet the nobles at all, not to mention, it is better to handle the small family. He knew what to say and what not to say. Even the current Xu family's room can suppress him. Even if her son and daughter-in-law refused to cooperate, she could prevent Dr. Wang from revealing secrets that should not be divulged by relying on the Xu family alone, and even send people out of Beijing far away.
Min didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, and she persuaded her there: "We don't mention why Mrs. got sick, just say that she suddenly got angry and had a seizure, and Imperial Doctor Zhou won't ask more." Madame had a worse seizure today than before, so it was safer to invite Imperial Doctor Zhou to come. ”
Xu continued to shake his head, Min frowned, turned his head and whispered to Yao: "Give Taiyi Zhou the next post, try to hurry up." She knew that her mother-in-law would sometimes drill the horns, and when she was in her mother's house, she didn't deal with such willful and stubborn elders. At this time, the younger generation can't let the elders mess around, and do what they should do, otherwise the elders will have a good one, and the younger generations will regret it too late!
Yao thought about it, glanced at Xu, nodded at Min, and turned his head to order Yulan. They really can't really let the Xu family have a good time, and it is very necessary to invite Imperial Doctor Zhou.
Seeing that the two daughters-in-law refused to obey, Xu suddenly became irritable in his heart: "Bastard! I'm sick, and you don't take me seriously one by one.
Yao's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered and stopped Yulan. Someone is bent on dying, she doesn't have a reason to be perfect, anyway, isn't the person dead now?!
Min's face was also difficult to look at, stiff and expressionless. She was kind-hearted, but she was scolded by her mother-in-law in front of her subordinates and juniors. She is also everyone's best girl, and she wants face!
Min pursed his lips, turned around and walked out of the room. Before he got down the steps, he met Niu and Cai Shengnan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Niu Shi saw that Min's eyes were red, and thought that Xu's condition was serious, so he hurriedly asked: "But the eldest sister-in-law is not good? Didn't the third girl say that she just vomited blood?"
Min bit his lip and said in a low voice, "It's vomiting blood." My sister-in-law and I discussed inviting Imperial Doctor Zhou over again, but my wife refused to agree, saying that she would just invite Dr. Wang to come. With that, she bowed her head and stepped aside, making way for the way out.
"Why don't you invite Imperial Doctor Zhou?" Niu took his daughter-in-law into the house in confusion, first looked at Xu's face, asked Yao's and Hongyan and others a few words, and said, "Sister-in-law is like this, what are you messing about?" Okay, I'm in charge, I'll ask Imperial Doctor Zhou! Send the post of our Hou Ye to Zhou's house, and ask Imperial Doctor Zhou to come over as soon as possible. ”
Xu still had something to say, but Niu didn't want to hear it at all: "Okay, the matter is settled! I know why the eldest sister-in-law refuses to invite Imperial Doctor Zhou, isn't it just that she is afraid that people will see the jokes of the Xu family? It's all because the eldest sister-in-law was too good to them in the past, and she spoiled people so much that she even left behind the rules of respecting her relatives. If the eldest sister-in-law still gently let them go this time, and in order to protect their reputation, they will not hesitate to damage their own health, they will not learn a lesson at all, and they will do even more excessive things in the future! For the sake of the younger generations, the eldest sister-in-law should let them suffer a little. Otherwise, Xu Zheng and his wife will mess around like this again, and Xu Zheng won't know how much he will suffer! The eldest sister-in-law only thinks that she loves her nephew and grandson, haven't you always loved him the most?"
Niu sacrificed Xu Zheng, Xu hesitated, remembering the distress she felt when she heard the words of her nephew and nephew, she bit her lip, and there was a burst of chest tightness, so she coughed lowly. The girls hurriedly stepped forward to serve, Niu turned around and gave Yao a look, Yao understood, glanced at Xu a little impatiently, and then turned around and went out to ask someone to invite Imperial Doctor Zhou.
Imperial Physician Zhou arrived quickly, and the results of his diagnosis for Xu this time were not as optimistic as before. Quantitative change will cause qualitative change, Xu Shi is hurting his vitality this time, if he can't recuperate quietly, this disease will be difficult to heal, if she will have to move from time to time in the future, maybe when, she won't be able to get up in one breath, and she will swallow her breath directly. But even if she honestly recuperates for a year or two, her body will not be as healthy as before. In addition to the iron law of calmness, she not only has to take medicine for a long time, but also has many taboos in terms of diet.
It is conceivable that it is impossible for Mrs. Xu of Chengenhou to do anything in the social circle of the capital in the future. Maybe after taking care of her body, she can still strive to enter the palace with other orders at the time of the New Year's Day every year, and then go home to lie down for a few days, or show her face at the banquet held by her own family, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to go out to other people's houses to attend banquets, right? Other people's families do not dare to invite her to go out, lest she have a good and bad situation at their own banquet and it will be difficult for her to end.
After hearing this, Xu Shi was immediately half discouraged. The Xu family is in such a situation now, and she still hopes that she can help more in the future. If she can only recuperate at home for most of the year, what can she do for the Xu family?!
Thinking like this, she was a little unwilling again. Although her nephew and nephew made her angry and sad, she was not in a hurry to help her mother's family. Nephews and daughters-in-law are not good, and grandnieces and nephews always honor her. She'd better take care of her body first. Without a good body, she can't do anything.
Xu was much more honest, although he also instructed his subordinates to bring a message to Imperial Doctor Zhou and asked him not to disclose his illness to the outside world, but he still paid more attention to his own condition, and was willing to cooperate to take medicine and rest. As for the matter of the Xu family, she also closed her eyes and told her confidant that if nothing major happened to the Xu family, there was no need to tell her about the news of the Xu family. She had to calm down and recuperate.
Therefore, the Xu family didn't know that after the daughters of the Qin family left Songfeng Hall, they met with Qin Zhonghai and Qin Shutao in the front yard of Kurong Hall. The latter two had already gone to see Xu's and were relieved to learn that her condition was no longer serious, but the resentment towards Xu's family room in their hearts became deeper and deeper.
Qin Zhonghai instructed the Yao family: "Don't let anyone see your mother again, not even the people in the second room of the Xu family." If they ask to see them, you or your third siblings will stand in the way. All things come and go, you two should take care of it first, and you don't have to worry about your mother. ”
Yao said with a smile: "Second master, don't worry, I will definitely not let my wife worry about these trivial matters!"
Qin Zhonghai tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked at Qin Jian and Qin Hanzhen: "What are the people from the Xu family's room here for? Just to let their mother clarify for them? Since they said that they had sent someone to the Sun family, what did they do to find their mother? It can't be specifically for the sake of angering people, right? You were there at the time, what did you hear?"
